Hi there,

I was wondering what you would consider good enough grades in an MA to enable one to apply for a PhD.
Do you think most people who go on to do PhD get 70%? Or would less be acceptable?
Thanks!

Thanks, that's a relief!
So do they look at each mark individually or do they do a average? (My BA was done in another contry so I'm a bit unclear about grades here...). My MA is 5 courses + the dissertation, would there be averaging all the marks together?

a 1st right?

"I agree with emmy, that's what I did and it paid off !"

Can you emphasize a bit please?

I would also imagine your funding situation has a bearing. If you are a self-funder it will probably be less of a big deal [certainly in my field].
